With deep gratitude for her exceptional leadership over the past five years, we’re announcing today that Amandine Gauthier will be stepping down from her role as Executive Director. Her passion, integrity, authenticity and creativity have shaped Porte Parole in ways that will resonate for years to come.
It is with great emotion that I prepare to step down from my role at Porte Parole. This organization holds a truly special place in my heart: its inspiring vision, its groundbreaking projects, and above all, the incredible people who make it what it is have made this journey deeply meaningful. I will forever treasure the memories of unforgettable productions, profound connections, and deeply human creations. It has been an incredible adventure, both professionally and personally.
To Annabel Soutar, thank you for being such an incredible source of inspiration over these five years—your courage, your talent, your independence of thought, and the friendship have been an extraordinary driving force.
To the entire team (Alex, Saskia, Normand, Maxime, Merissa, Béatrice, Sara Karel, Laurent, Gabriel, and Sandy), thank you for your professionalism and boldness, your smiles, and the countless hours spent trying to reinvent the world together—I miss you already.
To the Board of Directors, thank you for your dedication, your discipline, and your unwavering support—where would we be without you?
Thank you to the artists I’ve had the honor of working with—you have shaped me in ways I can’t fully put into words.
And finally, thank you to the entire Porte Parole community for making all this possible. It has been a great privilege to spend this time with you.”

Amandine joined Porte Parole in March of 2020, right when Quebec was facing the profound challenges of the COVID crisis. Throughout her nearly five years with us, she approached her role with competence, creativity, efficiency, and empathy, for which we are truly grateful.
